The Shady Side Of Jaimie Alexander

A source told Page Six that Alexander threw tantrums over her fake tattoos for Blindspot the application of which is a painstaking process that can take the show's makeup artists more than seven hours, depending on how much of her body is exposed in any given scene.

A source told Page Six that Alexander threw tantrums over her fake tattoos for Blindspot — the application of which is a painstaking process that can take the show's makeup artists more than seven hours, depending on how much of her body is exposed in any given scene.

"[Alexander has] become convinced the ink is toxic and making her sick," an insider said. The source said that Alexander, suffering from a pulmonary infection, brought her doctor onto the set of the series in Brooklyn to assess the situation.

She admitted to Shape magazine that she was initially pretty freaked out at the prospect of having her body covered in faux ink.

"My character's body is a massive canvas with an endless number of tattoos. They're actually glued onto me. The first time I got all the tattoos applied, my body kind of went into shock because my skin — my largest organ — was covered with glue," she said. "But once I relaxed, it was extraordinary, especially when I caught sight of myself in the mirror. Every Friday I take off the tattoos, and every Monday we put them on again. This has been such a cool role for me to play because honestly, if I weren't an actress, I'd be fully sleeved with tattoos anyway."
